Amber Glenn has had enough of the online hate.
US figure skater Amber Glenn has been facing immense hate at the 2026 Olympics.
Glenn says she has “never had so many people wish me harm before,” as she competed at the Olympics. After the US squad won a team gold medal in figure skating, Glenn trolled her haters and critics by dancing to a notable song.
Unfortunately, her critics got a chance to hit back at her following her short program mishap. The pressure of the Olympics can weigh heavily on athletes. It doesn’t make it any easier when thousands of people are coming after you on social media.

The three-time reigning US champion recently said she is taking a break from social media after receiving a ‘scary amount of hate.’ That came after she criticized Donald Trump over his treatment of the LGBTQ+ community. She came out as bisexual and pansexual.
Glenn has now revealed that she took even more abuse in the wake of her crucial error in the short program.
‘It wasn’t easy,’ Glenn said. ‘There’s been a bombardment of attacks and hate on me, using my lackluster performance as fuel for hate, and that was disheartening.’
She may have faltered, but she finished strong. Glenn rebounded in the free skate, earning a score of 214.91 -nearly the best of her long career. She would finish fifth behind teammate Alysa Liu, Team USA’s first gold medalist in 24 years, and the Japanese trio of silver medalist Kaori Sakamoto, bronze medalist Ami Nakai, and fourth-place finisher Mone Chiba.
Going forward, Glenn would like for athletes to be protected more. Amber Glenn says there were some “really disturbing things said online” about her, Alysa Liu, and Isabeau Levito, per Reuters.
Aside from blocking trolls, there’s not much that can be done with trolls unless they are threatening harm. Taking a break from social media is the best thing she can do going forward.
At the age of 26, Glenn was likely facing her last Olympics, as skaters tend to leave the sport quite young due to the toll it takes on their bodies.
